Hello, im new to xda, but i came here searching for some answers to these questions:
is there a working port of s8 for the 920a note 5? i want to install some ports i watched in youtube, but if not... which android is the latest i can install with the locked bootloader? i installed my android 6.0.1 with odin, phone came with android kit kat, so i uploaded 6, but im not sure if uploading a port will brick me or cause me a problem, i would be capable of? or in which way can i install android 7+ or 8 (if already available) without dealing with the bootloader... thanks in advance, and sorry if this is not the correct site for a question, im not used to this site.

I cannot find any proper information on whether or not the GT-I9295 can be rooted or not. Googling gives me all kinds of webpages dated back in late August claiming that it can be done, but I've also come across a lot of pages saying it's not possible to root the GT-I9295 using the instructions for the AT&T version of the S4 Active.
I hoped the xda forum would give me more info, but no... unfortunately not.
Has anyone got any help to offer me on this matter? Can it be rooted? If so, anyone got a proper working howto to link to?
Thanks in advance.

Super thanks for this guide, whizz Worked like a charm. I had already taken a quick look at this very guide a few days ago, but was afraid to try it, because it was using the CF-Auto-Roo for the I9505, and I was a little scared it might break my phone.
To be honest, there should be a sticky on confirmed (working) root procedures for the I9295. I've had a hard time finding proper information on this. Not only in this forum, but elsewhere on the net was well.
FYI I tried the geohot a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't work on my phone.
Unless there's something funky with the device, activeroot (so named for a reason) should root any Samsung Galaxy S4 Active in a second or two at most, any variant produced so far. If you got rooted without it, fantastic but activeroot should have worked without a single issue on a stock ROM... interesting.
Only thing it's not working with right now is 4.3 based stuff, and maybe if we're lucky geohot will drop an updated activeroot at some point, at least that's my hope since we have the 4.3 pre-release ROM for our AT&T I537 variant now to play with.
But then again, 4.3 does make some changes to things, and with Samsung pushing Knox on end users pretty hard, we could be approaching a time where rooting a device - let alone unlocking the bootloader - might become just another thing of the past.

Geohot's root is only for the i537, this thread was about the international version that can't use the geohot root.
Samsung Galaxy s4 active GT-I9295
I have the same problem, my Samsung Galaxy s4 active GT-I9295 does not have android and google play store. Is there any solution on how to install Android on my phone, how can I check my smartphone cpu, and how to root it. I'm from South Africa,
I hoped the xda forum or an angel would help me...

I'm currently running SlimBeam 4.3
Hi guys,
I just replaced my note 3 after 14 days and switched to the note 4. I was liking the note 3 and already rooted it and had a great custom rom on it. But something was calling me to get the note 4, so here I am. This is probably answered somewhere, and I tried searching the threads, but I'm getting old and I think I just can't find anything anymore. So quick question, I'll probably run stock for a couple of days just to get a feel for it as I usually do but I wanted to know is there any concerns I should have for rooting the note 4? besides the Knox issue, which is not really a concern for me. I'm currently on stock android 4.4.4, with ANJ7 firmware. I'm seeing a 128.37 MB software update from tmobile, anyone know what this update is? and if I should not download it , because of rooting concerns? Not sure if its just a security update or something...
Thanks for any help given from a long time xda member since before android on my ancient mogul windows mobile pda .
Ok I think I might have answered my own question, I couldn't wait no longer so just did the update and its just updated the firmware to K4, which I see is already supported on the latest custom roms.

The Note 4 and Note 3 are basically exactly the same as far as ROOTING
is concerned and both are rooted in the same manner exactly.
Here is a direct download link for the latest cf-autoroot which has everything
you need to root the N9010 Note 4, it has the windows odin and cf-autoroot
which is specifically designed to work with the Note 4 N910T:

The 128.37 MB software update will upgrade your phone to the latest NK4
baseband and I would highly recommend to go ahead and make the upgrade.
Good luck and have a great evening.
I purchased a S6 Edge and it was updated to 5.1.1 when I got it. I am a big fan of rooting/flashing ROMS/mods (My last phone was an extremely modded Oneplus One which met an untimely end) but I am not really sure how to do that on this phone. I would very much appreciate any help with info on how to root/install TWRP. Additionally I know that the S6 on 5.0.2 can be rooted but I also heard that once you update to 5.1.1 can't downgrade but it's worth a shot. I also heard that the [email protected] version has a locked boot loader is there any way to unlock it? If not would flashing say a T-Mobile stock ROM work? Thank you for any help. I also know that Devs don't like being asked for ETAs so instead I will ask if anyone knows how development of Cyenogenmod for the S6 Edge is progressing?
There's no way to unlock the bootloader on the AT&T version of the phone. You won't be able to use a custom recovery such as TWRP.
This is also my first Samsung phone (I've always used HTC devices, which were so easy to unlock/root). Since you're on 5.1.1, I don't think there's any way to achieve root (yet). I may be wrong there, though.
There is no way to root, if you want to do fun stuff with your phone, stay away from at&t

Hi, I'm also in the same boat. I know that this thread is old but I am planning to buy the s6 edge with AT&T (used). The phone is currently running on 5.1.1, (OJ9).
Before buying, is there any possible root YET? Am I possible to downgrade? I am sure these questions have been answered multiple times, but like I said, the threads that I have found via XDA are old. So before purchasing, I'd just like to make sure. Thank you so much!!

No and no , the only hope we have is when we get android 6 and wait for any possible new root method.
Hi all,
Im new to this website but not new to installing customs ROM's on phones. Its been a while but i did it years ago on my S3. Also, I know there are probably threads out there already for this so if this is just a redundant question please forward me to the right place b/c i haven't been able to find a clear answer on my own.
So here is my situation. I have a SM-G900A that I requested and unlock code from AT&T for and is now "unlocked" and I am running android 6.0.1. My girlfriend has a SM-G900V that is supposedly been unlocked by verizon and i moved over to my AT&T account and its working fine (with the exception of lack of LTE data). To my understanding it is not possible to flash a custom ROM on either of these if they are on anything post android 5.0 release. Is this true? I have not been able to find any custom ROM build that say they are made for these models and TWRP doesnt have a version specific to these either.
Has anyone successfully put customer ROM's/bootloaders on either of these 2 devices? I have really only used Cyanogenmod in the past and was very happy with it. But all i have seen is that people say that these 2 models are SOL if they have android v.6 on them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Check the link below, the first 4 posts or so have the information on downgrading and rooting. I don't know about the Verizon version, the AT&T version bootloader is completely locked down so we can not flash a custom recovery like twrp. Flashfire works like a charm though. The custom roms are limited and pretty much lollipop variants. There is currently no root or custom Rom for marshmallow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3516196
flashfire gives the error "Please update SuperSU to v.2.40 or newer" which I already have. I tried the older ones 1st and it gives the same error. I am not sure what to think about it except I got it to work before with the exact same files from what I recall. is there another proceedure perhaps?
Hello. I used to install custom roms like crazy back in the Galaxy S3 days... but haven't done any rooting since.
However, I now got the Note 9 and specifically got a model that I thought was root/TWRP friendly. But now that I'm looking though this forum, I'm not sure what's what.
I found "[Recovery][Unofficial] TWRP for Galaxy Note9 (Snapdragon) N9600]" from September but OP still says "MTP and ADB does not work right now. (Working on a fix)"
I've read various things that Android Pie root isn't sorted out yet? I'm not sure what's outdated and what's current.
Can someone please point me to a guide for rooting a Note 9 SM-N9600 with Android 9 on it? It would be much appreciated.
